Bookstore mega-chain Barnes & Noble has launched its answer to Amazon's Kindle Fire (and to a lesser extent, Kobo's multimedia Vox slate) — also as expected, the thing looks an awful lot like its predecessor, the recently discounted Nook Color, right down to the metal bar on the bottom corner. Granted, B&N did already make the leap into the tablet space, when the Nook Color was upgraded earlier this year — but the Nook Tablet brings more than just a new name, of course. The tablet offers up a seven-inch IPS display with full lamination, videos up to 1080p and 11.5 hours of battery life.
